A self-administered and structured questionnaire use to collect data from 200 respondents of banks' clients. The SPSS software use here for analyzing data. Different statistical tools use which are compatible with our research, such as factor analysis, reliability analysis, and hypothesis testing. We survey twenty private commercial banks.
